Project description:The blood-brain barrier (BBB) consists of specific physical barriers, enzymes and transporters, which together maintain the necessary extracellular environment of the central nervous system (CNS). The main physical barrier is found in the CNS endothelial cell, and depends on continuous complexes of tight junctions combined with reduced vesicular transport. Other possible constituents of the BBB include extracellular matrix, astrocytes and pericytes, but the relative contribution of these different components to the BBB remains largely unknown. Here we demonstrate a direct role of pericytes at the BBB in vivo. Using a set of adult viable pericyte-deficient mouse mutants we show that pericyte deficiency increases the permeability of the BBB to water and a range of low-molecular-mass and high-molecular-mass tracers. The increased permeability occurs by endothelial transcytosis, a process that is rapidly arrested by the drug imatinib. Furthermore, we show that pericytes function at the BBB in at least two ways: by regulating BBB-specific gene expression patterns in endothelial cells, and by inducing polarization of astrocyte end-feet surrounding CNS blood vessels. Our results indicate a novel and critical role for pericytes in the integration of endothelial and astrocyte functions at the neurovascular unit, and in the regulation of the BBB. The brain microvascular fragments were isolated from mice with different genotypes, each represented by 3-4 biological replicates. Genotypes 1-2: Platelet derived growth factor-B (PDGF-B) retention-motif knockout (pdgfbret/ret) represent the pericyte-deficient situation, and the heterozygous mice (pdgfbret/+) are used as controls. Genotypes 3-4: Hypomorphic PDGF-B mutants that rescue pdgfb-/- null mice, in which a one copy of a conditionally silent human PDGF-B transgene targeted to the Rosa 26 locus (R26P) is turned on by endothelial-specific expression of Cre recombinase. In this data set these mice are named as Tie2Cre, R26P+/0, pdgfb-/- (representing the pericyte-deficient situation). Mice wt for pdgfb (pdgfb+/+) and carrying one silent copy of R26P (R26P+/0), are used as controls. Genotype 5: Adult Notch3+/+ wildtype (WT).

Project description:Primary familial brain calcification (PFBC) is a rare neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by bilateral and symmetric brain calcification along the microvessels or inside neuronal cells in the basal ganglia, thalamus, and cerebellum. Neurological symptoms typically include movement disorders, cognitive impairment, and neuropsychiatric signs. Slc20a2 homozygous (HO) knockout mice can simulate the phenotype of brain calcification observed in humans. However, the cellular and molecular mechanisms associated with brain calcification, particularly at an extremely early stage (before calcification emerges), remain largely unknown. Herein, we quantified central nervous system (CNS)-infiltrating immune cells in different age groups and found that CD45+CD3+ T cells were significantly increased in the brain parenchyma even in the pre-calcification stage of 1-month-old Slc20a2-HO mice. Further immunophenotyping demonstrated that CD3+CD4-CD8- and CD3+CD4+ T cells were the two main subtypes increased in the brain. The accumulation of total T cells appears to be associated with the severity of brain calcification. Paracellular and transcellular permeability of the blood-brain barrier increased in endothelial cells of brain microvessels in Slc20a2-HO mice. The expression of endothelial cell adhesion molecules was increased, while that of tight and adherens junction proteins was decreased, reflecting the molecular basis of T cell recruitment to endothelial cells and paracellular migration into the brain. IgG and albumin assays revealed an increased leakage of endothelial cells and the process of T cell transcellular migration was captured by immunoelectron microscopy, suggesting the enhancement of transcytosis or endocytosis in brain endothelial cells of Slc20a2-HO mice. The sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor modulator, FTY720, could significantly inhibit brain calcification, probably by reducing the CNS infiltration of T cells, subsequently modulating neuroinflammation, and enhancing the phagocytosis of CNS resident immune cells. This study demonstrated that CNS-infiltrating T cells were associated with the progression of brain calcification and suggested that the impairment of blood-brain barrier permeability, which was closely related to T cell invasion into the CNS, could be explained by an increase in the paracellular and transcellular pathways of brain endothelial cells in Slc20a2-HO mice. Moreover, FTY720 was a potential drug that could be used to treat patients with PFBC in the future
